AN agreement has been made between the Central Electricity Generating Board and the Midlands division of the National Coal Board for the delivery of 50,000 tons a week of coat to power stations by road instead of rail.
The railways have been hard pressed to clear coal stocks because of a shortage of wagons. Mr. A. Martin, secretary of the Notts area council of the National Union of Mineworkers. revealed on
Sunday that the N.U.M. had been concerned about the agreement between the C.E.G.B. and British Railways that no coal should be carried by road, and had pressed the matter, so that N.C.B. lorries could be used.
Last Saturday B.R. cancelled football supporters' trains in order to clear coal traffic. The West Midland Traffic Commissioners licensed 250 coaches to carry 10.000 Cup-tie match spectators.
